@WajahatAli @FightingForDem7 Time to take the bull by the horns.

My mind boggles at the people who are still saying, "But, but, the rules say...but but but...the process is..." Listen, Republicans don't care. They make shit up, bend the rules, ignore them, change them at will. Democrats have the majority in VA. Use your powers, be creative, & implement the map.

@ABC @LqLana The mom of the century. 😍😍😍😍

"There were times where we didn't have a roof over our head, but we had a car. We didn't have a place to stay so we would come and sleep in this parking lot." A South Los Angeles student is celebrating the incredible accomplishment of receiving 65 college acceptance letters. After experiencing homelessness in his youth, he now plans to study industrial engineering at Columbia University.

The Supreme Court just ruled that a racial gerrymandering claim must include intentional discrimination. Tennessee Republicans have immediately responded by stopping early voting in order to split apart the only majority black district in the state. What more do you need to show intentional discrimination? This is Jim Crow 2.0 and cannot stand.

Donald Trump and MAGA states are rigging our elections and silencing voters. This November, we WILL stop them. Everything is on the line.

Two Black Tennessee lawmakers were physically escorted out of chambers this week while Republicans quietly held a hearing to approve gerrymandered maps that would eliminate the state's only majority-Black congressional district. No referendum. No special election. No public vote.

@MarkJCarney @SageAmenti @BarackObama We’re so very proud of him!!

Welcome back to Canada, President @BarackObama. Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us.

JUST AIRED on Tampa station It took KIDS to show Florida “leadership” how you take care of needy children For the FOURTH YEAR in a row, Ron DeSantis has REFUSED federal funds that would feed needy children who go hungry during summer months when school meals are unavailable He has **always used our children as political footballs

In 2018, North Carolina held an election using congressional maps that had already been ruled unconstitutional. The winners were seated anyway. In 2022, Ohio did the same thing. Georgia and Alabama moved forward with racist maps in 2022 that violated the Voting Rights Act. The winners of those elections were seated anyway. When it’s Republicans disenfranchising Black voters and Democrats, illegal maps are suddenly good enough to keep in place during the election. None of those states even put their maps up for approval by the public like Virginia did. Virginia should proceed with their election under the map their voters just enacted. Anything less would establish an unfair precedent.

I saw this video on Viola Davis' instagram this morning and everyone needs to see it. The gutting of the VRA is the most significant attack on ALL civil rights in America in my lifetime, and after they already came for the women.. We better wake the fuck up. None of us is safe:

@ClaudeP65994331 @GovernorVA @sephius1999 🎯🎯🎯

Abigail you just seen what the state of Virginia Supreme Court just did! You can’t play the nice game or cordial and expect democracy to survive! Times are different and you are now in a different role than you were in Congress. You must step up and meet the moment by making bold choices! The people put you in office for a reason. The people voted for new maps and the court turned the people down! The people can keep voting but in the end, leaders must step outside their comfort zone if they see the people voices are being silenced. That means, you and other leaders have to be prepared to step up and do the remaining lifting of saving democracy!

More than three million Virginians cast their ballots in Virginia’s redistricting referendum, and the majority of Virginia voters voted to push back against a President who said he is ‘entitled’ to more Republican seats in Congress with a temporary and responsive referendum. They made their voices heard. I am disappointed by the Supreme Court of Virginia’s ruling, but my focus as Governor will be on ensuring that all voters have the information necessary to make their voices heard this November in the midterm elections because in those elections we — the voters — will have the final say.

@SEATTLESUBMISS What kind of human being you are that hurt an indefensible little animal. He needs to rot in jail.

A 37-year-old Seattle man allegedly threw a rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal in Maui and when confronted allegedly said “I don’t care, I’m rich. Fine me with whatever you want. I can pay for it.” He was detained and the case has been referred to federal investigators

@RonFilipkowski @JacDalAM The Washington press corps have become a puppet at the hands of the Orange man. When they will call him out publicly? They have to come up with a strategy that every time he berates and denigrates a person to call him out.

Still waiting for the first hero to stand up and say something to Trump as he berates and personally attacks another female reporter who asked a legitimate question. It will probably never happen because some things are more important than decency and courage. I guess.

@BillKristol Agree 💯.

"We can fight to stop the ballroom. If this means leaving the area as a destruction site for the rest of Trump’s presidency, so be it. Let its ugliness exemplify the Trump era. Let its rubble symbolize what he's tried to do to the American republic." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

@realdocfarris @HustleBitch_ Love is an emotion. Period.

@HustleBitch_ This absolute rubbish. Love isn’t something you fall into or out of. Why do we reduce one of the most profound gifts we’ve ever been given as humans to something so simple as being controlled by a drug?

🚨OZEMPIC IS MAKING PEOPLE FALL OUT OF LOVE — AND NOW RELATIONSHIPS ARE COLLAPSING A doctor tied to Johns Hopkins and the NIH just went on camera and dropped something no one’s talking about. Not the weight loss. Not the appetite. The person. Thousands on Ozempic and Wegovy are reporting the same pattern: • Food doesn’t hit the same • Hobbies feel empty • Even people they once loved… feel different And it’s not subtle. Therapists are now seeing couples where one partner says: “I feel like I’m living with a completely different person.” Less emotion. Less connection. Less interest in intimacy. Researchers already know GLP-1 receptors aren’t just in the gut… They’re in the brain areas tied to reward, motivation, and bonding. Meaning this isn’t just shrinking waistlines. It may be quieting the entire reward system across everything. Food. Pleasure. Attachment. All of it. Some users aren’t just losing weight… they’re losing the emotional intensity that made them who they were. Same body. Different person. Are these drugs fixing health… or quietly rewiring what we feel? And if the “reward system” gets turned down across the board… what happens to love? 📹: TikTok/nealkshah

Bingo. Bias and discrimination can be proved in court by evidence of a pattern of outcomes, so there’s no reason we shouldn’t look at the Supreme Court’s ‘Republicans-and-fossil-fuel-always-win’ pattern of outcomes. ms.now/opinion/john-r…

Katt Williams is hilarious… Those were the days‼️
